Deleting a Milestone without Correct History

  • When you add a new row, all milestones carry over. From the new row, you can then remove (minus) the milestone you want to “delete.” If you are removing the ONLY milestone applied to the student, it will not work. To be considered, a row must have at least one milestone included.
  • If you choose to leverage this approach to milestone deletion, we have a recommendation. Create a milestone for the purpose of removing milestones. Name it appropriately and set it not to print. When staff “remove” a previously recorded milestone, they can add this milestone and add information about why and when the milestone in question was removed. This will provide an audit trail AND provide the milestone data needed (making it possible to remove a milestone where only one existed).
